RICOTTA, MARMALADE, AND CHOCOLATE SPREAD

This creamy, sweet spread is reminiscent of the filling for cannoli. The marmalade can be replaced with apricot or sour cherry preserves for an equally satisfying taste. Garnish with grated chocolate and orange zest, if you like.

1 cup ricotta cheese, preferably whole milk
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese or cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup orange marmalade
3 oz (90 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Wholemeal biscuits

In a food processor, process the ricotta cheese until smooth. Add the mascarpone or cream cheese and process until blended. Add the marmalade and process until incorporated but some small chunks remain. Add the chocolate and pulse until just blended (do not purée).

Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours. Serve with the biscuits.

Serves 6.
